I dozed off to sleep a week ago dreaming up ideas to put on Chandler's favorite teacher's door for teacher appreciation week--the circus theme was especially challenging. In my semi-conscious state the thought came to me: "What if I took the butcher paper and crumpled it all up so it had an artsy-crinkly look?" I nixed that dumb idea quickly and drifted off to sleep.
A few days later I finally figured something cheesy to put on it and got to work. After 4-5 hours of work I called it complete and put it away.
Pleasant Little Greta, always-easy-to-get-to-sleep Greta decided to be a two year old after all. She played a little nap time hookie and got a hold of my poster and crumpled it for me. Unfortunately it isn't a cool artsy look but what to do?. . . I just do not have time to do it again. (The picture doesn't do the awry crumply look justice.)
Hopefully Mr. Moffitt will understand. . . .
This marks an official change in our lives since Greta can now climb out of her bed(yesterday). . . bye bye naps and easy bedtimes. . . . We are just barely getting Tessa to sleep through the night since her crib-climbing-out days. . . and the two of them in the same bed is a sleep defying thought! Ah, bring on character-building motherhood experiences!

It doesn't matter that it's crumpled! It's going on a door at an elementary school - I'm sure it will take more abuse! And the picture is super cute.
Oh Darcee! I agree with Cheryl but since I am in the middle of trying to do that same kind of thing I can relate to struggling over what to do, having it undone a bit and not having time to re-do.
Sorry Greta can get out of bed now. Have you thought of using a crib tent? I've got two -- one for a port-a-crib and one for a regular crib. I'm happy to loan you one if you need some sanity.
